The 54-year-old businessman said: "We are still getting a couple of the Bristol Street Motors cars every day on Lodge Close at the moment, and I know that Homefield Road was absolutely full of them on Saturday as we drove down there.

"It would be great to know when all their staff are going to start to use the dedicated car park, but I think it is a fantastic outcome.

"Hopefully this will now solve the problems that we’ve had for three years - I hope they do actually enforce all their workforce to use the dedicated car park."

Retired Irene Wakefield - who has lived on the street for around 12 years - said when her sons came to visit her it was difficult due to all the large amount of "inconsiderate parking".

Now the 78-year-old has said how "gob smacked" she was to see the traffic disappear this week.

She said: "I couldn't believe it, I was so shocked. I was saying someone must have magicked them away - it's made such a difference.

"I can get out of my drive now, and my grandsons say they can now park anywhere, we're all so pleased.

"It's nice to finally have the issue resolved as it was a real nusiance."

Bristol Street Motors has Citroen and Hyundai dealerships on site, and from Monday (November 27) made sure a dedicated car park was made available on a nearby site.

This will be free of charge for staff, and will be used to relieve the parking concerns for residents.

Mark Flear, general manager for Bristol Street Motors, said: "The dealerships do not have designated parking spaces for colleagues as our priority is to ensure that our customers are able to park on site.

"Our business is built on close links with local communities and we have worked hard, and invested a considerable amount of money, to resolve the issue of colleague’s parking cars in the area around the dealerships.

"We always aim to be good neighbours and expect this resolution to help both our colleagues and people living nearby."
